First Annual Oscar Party 2011

The Academy Awards provided the perfect excuse to invite girlfriends over for an Oscar Party! Most of us are new moms and hadn't seen but maybe one movie each. Of course Toy Story 3 was the top movie seen by this group!

The rest of us were up on our pop culture so we were at least familiar with characters, movies and the stars! I had seen Social Network, The Town, Inception, Black Swan.

Here are a few pics.
(Pics didn't come out very well...)

You have to have a red carpet for a red carpet party!
It was super windy and the "carpet" wouldn't stay put!



Cheesy Decorations



Official Oscar Ballots

The ballots were fun as we checked off our correct answers. It made it more interactive since we hadn't seen half the movies!

Guests were greeted with a champagne cocktail instead of the paparazzi.


Appetizers: Cheesy Olive Snacks (Similar to PW's Olive Cheese Bread) and Tomatoes, Basil and Cream Cheese with Bread.


Sesame Crusted Chicken with Twice Baked Mashed Potatoes

Salad and Meatballs with Pineapples

(the pictures looks like a lump of meat)

Dessert: Raspberry Mousse in heart shaped chocolate cups.

I have wanted to do a party like this for years. Every year, I say I'm going to and it never happens. I think I would have to take the next day off work.
Maybe next year?
